    That's the subject I've been dealing with in the last 10 odd years, but I'm sure its the same in Engineering, Physics or whatever you care to name

        I covered integration and differentiation in AO Maths in 1984, not in the O level Maths I did in 1983. I'm glad it's taught now at a younger age, as it isn't exactly difficult... though do they have to do any of the proofs?

        My son (2nd year Physics student) doesn't use calculus any more - he uses group theory to do whatever he needs to do - it's more powerful than calculus. Currently he's doing differential topology. I certainly didn't do that at university.

          Do you think that will happen before or after you start being funny?

              Is this a maths puzzle?
              While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'
